| Description | This file does not appear in the Inventory compiled by Cheshire at the time of his departure from Soho on 15 Feb. 1812, perhaps because it had been passed to William D. Brown to be kept at hand for reference. Under M. R. Boulton’s arrangement the file was put into Box D3 (“Household Vouchers, Correspondence, and Special Subjects, 1804 to 1809”).
The contents of the file were formerly in a bundle labelled “Letters and Copies, 1810,” within which they were divided into several packets, documents being grouped alphabetically by the first letter of the correspondent’s name. This arrangement is preserved in the following list. Within the several groups the documents are arranged in chronological order. It does not appear that any packets are missing, for there are letters and copies for A, B, C, D, E, F, H, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, R, S, T, V, W, and Y.
The copies are all press-copies, except 9, 37, 46, and 253, which are transcripts. |
